Disclaimer: I am the queen of the world! I own it all! *dad telling me to get off the chair and do my homework in the background* Damn it. Maybe next time, eh?
Warning! School just started again and exams are in four weeks so the teachers have decided to try their best to drown us in homework. *sob* so updates will be posted every second Tuesday.
Scorpius looked at Rose in terror and did the only thing he could think of at the time. He told her everything. He began with Albus sitting on the steps and went through everything up until they made it home. Throughout his tale he'd been getting more and more nervous because of Rose's stony expression, and by the time he got to the end of it, he was positively petrified. Rose appeared to be in deep thought, and that didn't bode well for anyone.
"Rose?" Scorpius asked, gently nudging her arm. Suddenly, she broke into an alarmingly enormous grin.
"So that's it!" she cried triumphantly, "All we have to do is turn this thingy here, right?"
"Umm… sure, I guess… I don't know where we'll end up though…" Scorpius mumbled, ruffling his white-blonde hair tiredly.
"Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go!" James exclaimed, beaming.
"Wait! What about Albus? We can't just leave him lying there on the floor!" Scorpius exclaimed, now thoroughly awake, sensing the adventure about to take place.
"Why not?" James grinned cheekily.
"We may not be Ravenclaws, but I think even they *gestures to sleeping roommates* might notice if they trip on Albus on the way to the bathroom" Scorpius reasoned.
"We could put him in his bed…" Rose began thoughtfully
"Yes! That's a brilliant idea! I'm so glad I brought you along." James exclaimed, playfully ruffling Rose's hair. Rose batted his hand away and rolled her eyes.
"Okay, you grab his legs, I'll grab his arms." Rose instructed, "Scorpius, which bed is his?"
Scorpius mutely pointed at Albus' bed and watched sadly as they put his unconscious best friend in his bed. James dumped his brother in his bed unceremoniously, while Rose lowered his head more gently to the pillow. Scorpius went to Rose's side to help her tuck him in and soon enough, Albus looked as if he were asleep.
Suddenly, everything seemed to slow down. Scorpius' arm shot out and his fingers curled around the shining machine that caused him so much pain last year. Rose gasped as she felt the chain snap from around her neck. James whirled from where he was drawing a mustache on his brothers face and reached for his wand.
Time seemed to freeze at that exact moment. Albus sleeping peacefully in his bed with half a mustache on his face, Rose's face slowly reddening at the realization that she had been deceived, James' face that would scare braver men than Scorpius Malfoy, had he been looking, Scorpius clutching the time turner in his fist victoriously.
Scorpius quickly flung the contraption to the floor and, where it should have exploded into a million pieces, instead, it bounced. Suddenly, the world began to spin until it faded to grey with only Rose, Scorpius and James left in sight, the rest of the Slytherins and there dormitories now obscured in a haze of smoky greyness…
A/N: *TV announcer voice* Wow! I wonder what will happen next? Where will they end up? What is happening? Will they survive the terrifying greyness? find out next time! *really fast terms and conditions voice* Also, please review, thanks I really appreciate it, see ya! :P
